I'm doing my last minute work on choosing books and making schedules getting ready to start school next week. I got a post from another blog this week with an interesting free grammar program. Nebby gives it a good review here and as I looked it over it looks good - I think I'll try it. If you are interested you can check it out here. I like how the author uses classical pieces of art on his site and classic literature with his program. I also think he makes some good points in his philosophy statements - in fact it made me think of Charlotte Mason.

Welcome!

We have home schooled for over 20 years now and I still enjoy learning daily with my children! There is always something new to learn and new books to be discovered as well as old ones to revisit. I have been much influenced by Karen Andreola's books and appreciate Charlotte Mason's wonderful philosphy. We love books!! I also like her emphasis on creativity and searching for beauty in the arts. We try to get our formal school work done in the morning so the children have time to think and create in the afternoons. The children help with the household chores so that life flows along smoothly now and they are prepared for adult life and know how to serve others. This blog is a small peek into our learning adventures. Hope you enjoy it. You might also enjoy my blog "All Things Bright and Beautiful" posted weekly which features an artist, a composer and a poet for picture study, music appreciation and poetry. http://classicalmusicnartcharlottemasonstyle.blogspot.com/
